Time For a Funny Story

A few weeks ago, I was giving a tour of the police station to a group of Cub Scouts.  There were 8 or 10 kids and some parents.  The tour starts at the front of the building, where the dispatch area is.   Most kids like the dispatch room because there are computer screens, radios, and tv screens all over. One of the jobs of the dispatcher is to monitor any prisoners that are locked up via closed circuit tv. As the group was filing into dispatch, an officer was lodging a prisoner in the cell block. I pointed out the tv screen that showed the prisoner and explained to the kids that the dispatcher had to watch the prisoner to make sure that the prisoner didn't damage anything or hurt himself. Just as the kids' attention turned to the screen, the prisoner unzipped his pants and began to urinate in the commode! Of course, the one loud kid in the group announced it to everybody and all of the kids were looking. The dispatcher turned bright red and did her best to cover the large screen with her hands.  The parents thought it was pretty funny too.

  1. Whew, funny story just in time John Q. A good one too. Bet we could get some pretty funny video in downtown West Chester and on South Walnut Street.
    Maybe start a TV show with the performances.
